I have heard (this may be an old wives tale) that dog saliva has healing properties which will help heal your wounds. They will lick their own wounds and sores, also, to make them heal. Then, again, I have heard that this is not true and is only an old wives tale. So, who do we believe? If I have a scratch or cut and they want to lick it, I just let them. It makes them feel better, so even if it doesn't help the scratch, it helps them. |
